Introduction to Canyon Resources Overview

Executive Summary

  • Minim Martap is recognised as a world class high grade bauxite project

  • Project located in Cameroon, West Africa

  • Total JORC compliant resource base of 1.0 billion tonnes at 45.2% Al2O3 with considerable upside potential

  • Contains a high-grade resource of:

  • 484 Mt at 48.8% Al O 2 3

  • Low reactive silica – 2.6%

  • Very high gibbsite content >90%, suitable for low temp alumina refining

  • High alumina, low impurities: suitable for most refineries around the world

  • Operating rail line runs from the Project area to the existing Douala Port

==> picture [395 x 249] intentionally omitted <==

Canyon’s Minim Martap Project, Cameroon

  • The rail line and port both have the capacity for the Project

  • Positive PFS released, BFS to be completed during Q3 2021

  • Mining license application to be made in Q2 2021

  • Strategic off-take and funding discussions advancing in parallel with the BFS & Government negotiations

Why Canyon’s Minim Martap Project?

1 Tier 1, globally
significant, high
grade bauxite
deposit

One of the largest undeveloped, high grade direct shipping bauxite deposits held outside of the existing major
industry players

JORC Resource of 1 Billion tonnes at 45.2% Al2O3with low silica (~2%)
2 Superior bauxite
product compared to
peers

Product has a high in-situ value (based on its high available alumina content and low reactive silica) compared with
other bauxite projects globally
3 A simple, advanced
stage bauxite asset

Simple mining method – continuous miners, minimal overburden and no processing requirements i.e. direct
shipping ore

Existing rail located adjacent to Project linking to the existing port of Douala
4 BFS underway with
strategic partners

Appointed leading EPC company MCC-CIE to complete BFS works (excluding the rail BFS studies)

MCC is one of China’s major multinational conglomerates and is active in global bauxite mining and refining
5 Major upcoming
catalysts

Mining license application to be made in Q2 2021

Strategic off-take and funding discussions advanced in parallel with the BFS & Government negotiations
6 Recent appointments
and strategic
developments

Recent of appointment of Cliff Lawrenson as Chairman to assist Canyon develop and commercialise Minim Martap

Strategic $5.6m investment from Mr Peter Su – whose family have held commercial interests in bauxite and
alumina refining in China

Cameroon is ready for a mining industry

A country with the fundamentals for mining

Relative abundance of natural resources.

Besides oil and gas, minerals that are found in the country include aluminium, bauxite, cobalt, diamonds, gold, and iron ore.

Significant industry potential.

As the state of infrastructure improves, it is expected that mining in Cameroon, especially iron ore and bauxite extraction, will prosper.

Existing infrastructure to support growing industry potential.

Cameroon already has a two ports (Kribi and Douala), a hydropowered aluminium smelter as well as gas production, an oil pipeline and refinery in-country.

As a future JV partner and with resource industrialisation a national imperative the government continues to support Canyon.
